Honey? he called out in shock.
Nearby, a fragile silhouette was perched on the floor, tearing a book apart in frustration, not too far from Nathan.
This was the first instance Nathan had witnessed Lucinda in such a condition. He promptly approached her to see if she was okay.
What happened to you? Did work not go as planned, and you needed to let off steam? Share it with me, Lucinda, Nathan inquired.
He knelt on one knee, gently Lifting Lucindas face with his hands, only to find her eyes bloodshot and bearing a wild, unhinged expression.
The two looked at each other.
Lucindas lips twisted into an eerie grin, her eyes filled with a sinister darkness.
Nathan was so preoccupied with worrying about whether Lucinda had hurt herself while venting her frustrations that he didnt notice her hostility.
Lets head to the laboratory and take a checkup, he suggested.
While Nathan stooped down to pick up Lucinda, suddenly, a powerful slap struck his face.
Slap!
It landed on the left side of Nathans face.
The impact turned his head to the side, leaving his cheek burning.

.
It took Nathan a moment to process what happened.
Lucinda delivered a slap to him.
Ever since Lucinda and Nathan patched things up, she had refrained from giving him a face slap; instead, she occasionally playfully pinched him.
Nathan, bewildered, turned to face Lucinda again, noticing her eyes sparkled with an unsettling excitement.
Before he could fully grasp the situation, Lucinda raised her hand for another strike.
She delivered another forceful slap, utilizing skills she had learned, aimed directly at Nathans face.
Nathan didnt move away, and the impact was severe. His teeth cut into the soft inner lining of his mouth, causing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
The consecutive slaps forced Nathan to reevaluate the person standing before him, Lucinda.
Lucindas eyes burned with anger as she raised her hand again, seeking an outlet for her fury.
Im sorry, Nathan uttered.
Finally reacting, he quickly grabbed Lucindas wrist and, with a sharp motion, delivered a chop to the back of her head.
